Ford Settles Another "Super Duty" Pickup Truck Roof Crush Case in Oregon

After two verdicts over a billion dollars each, Ford settles another "super duty" pickup truck roof crush case in Oregon handled by the Butler Prather law firm

Ford Motor Company has settled a third lawsuit filed against it by the Butler Prather firm involving deaths and injuries resulting from the weak roofs on Ford’s 1999-2016 "super duty" pickup trucks.

The most recent settlement came on Friday, September 19, 2025 in the case of Juan & Kris Yraguen v. Ford, pending in federal court in Eugene, Oregon before the Hon. Ann Aiken, Senior Judge. Mr. Yraguen was made an incomplete quadriplegic when his 2008 Ford F350 rolled over after sliding off the road as a result of black ice while Mr. Yraguen was crossing the Cascade Mountains in Oregon. The wreck happened on May 11, 2022.

Very recently Ford settled two other Butler Prather cases – Hill v. Ford and Brogdon (Mills) v. Ford. Both those cases, which had resulted in jury verdicts of $1.7 billion and $2.5 billion respectively, settled on August 15, 2025.

The amount of each settlement is confidential.

“We are very pleased to have resolved this matter for Juan and Kris Yraguen,” said Plaintiffs’ lead counsel James E. Butler, Jr. of the Butler Prather law firm in Georgia. “The impact on them of Ford’s indefensible defective roofs has been horrible.”
